Police officers who stormed a vice den in Birmingham were greeted by the sight of a flat stuffed with condoms and massage lube and a red light in each room.The property, which was located on Birmingham's busy Broad Street was being used as a brothel, and following the jailing of two people involved in the illegal unit, pictures from inside the sordid flat have been shared.
Police investigating the crime have said the premises were being used to "exploit trafficked and vulnerable women in Birmingham".
The women were "lured" from China, sent across Britain and made to have sex with up to ten men a day, police said. Deli Sun, 49 and Xiao Qin Zhong, 48, were both jailed for their part in running the sex operation after a long police investigation.
The investigation was launched after they were made aware of a brothel with links to other locations in the country as well as trafficking, prostitution and sexual exploitation offences.Support staff from Women’s Aid and police had visited the flat last July to speak to a sex worker who had previously been found working elsewhere.Police said Sun opened the door when officers arrived at the property, but once inside they found that two women, one being Zhong, were living there and it was clearly being used as a brothel.In each room there was a red light, a bed and other evidence of sex work including bags of condoms.
